RETRACTED: Effect of ephedrine on neuronal plasticity of hypoxic-ischemic brain damage in neonatal rats

The article substantially duplicates in English results published in Chinese in Zhongguo Zhong Yao Za Zhi, 32(2007) 1684-1687.One of the conditions of submission of an article for publication is that authors declare explicitly that the article and/or its main results have not been published, nor are under consideration for publication, elsewhere. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
